Delirium Trigger

We're now up here alone.
Systems malfunction. Blast it, this damn machine, over and out captain.

Something lurks, creeps, on the counter top somewhere behind you.
Remember when we were young? Sit up right on the table.
A photograph of earth feeding me a way back. Frightened,

I tear alone, or maybe not the only one there. Hello...hello. When it rings, will you answer?
There, corner. Tall, short stance.

You made a good friend to me
But while you were out numbered and torn they made us do things.

Dear god, I don't feel alive.
When you're cut short of misery will you pray it be the end?
Give a look of surprise. Wide eyed to me. Then you'll know just what I am.

The scare that triggers your fear.

Run sand hourglass in my time,
Will I be worth? Spin round carousal when your horse isn't screwed in.

Dear god, I don't feel alive when your cut short of misery.
(Raise forth, lost cause) Will you pray it be the end?

Give a look surprise wide eyed to me. (Raise forth lost cause)
Then you'll know just what I am. (Subtle demise. The legitimate cry)
